Question

A special train is traveling down a long, straight track with a constant acceleration of 10 m/s>2 (meters per second squared) in the forward direction. If a passenger drops a ball and watches its path, the ball falls
A. Straight down B. Slightly toward the back of the train C. Backward at a 45º angle D. Forward at a 45º angle A special train is traveling down a long, straight track with a constant acceleration of 10 m/s>2 (meters per second squared) in the forward direction.

A. Straight down B. Slightly toward the back of the train C. Backward at a 45º angle D. Forward at a 45º angle

Explanation / Answer

C. Backwards at 45 degree angle.

It is because acceleration downward due to gravity is also 10 m/s2 as well as acceleration of train is 10 m/s2 so path of ball is straight line at 45 degree.
